A Striking Picture "A Revival OF Old Time

! In one Of Harper's issues Is gfvon a worry
fine illustration of Roberts celebrated paint

represents typical old-timer, with his bell

clock, with It's cords and weights carefully

The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
! Tme,n brings TO our mind another version
Of tho title, used for another purpose,-"old
Time Dootoring."
We learn, through q reliable source, that
one Of the onterprising proprietary med
icino firms of the country has been for
years investigating the formulas and med.
ical preparations used in tho beginning of
this century, and even before, with view
of ascertaining why people in our great
grandfathers' time enjoyed o health and
physical vlgor 30 seldom found In the pres
ent generation. They now think they have
secured the secret or secrets. They find
that tho prevailing opinion that then ex-
listed, that mature has remedy for every
existing. disorder" was true, and acting
under this belief, our grandparents used
tho common herbs and plants. Continual
trespass upon tho forest domain, has made
these herbs less abundant, and has driven
them further from civilization, until they
have been discarded, as remedial agents,
because Of the difficulty of obtaining them.
II. III. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safo cure, and founder of tho Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, N. Y, has been press
ing Investigations In TINS direction, into the
annals of old family histories, until he has
secured some very'vnluablo formulas, from
which his firm Is now preparing medicines,
to be sold by all druggists:
They will, we learn, be known under the
general title of "Warner's Log Cabin r Rc,,,.
edies." Among these medicines win be a
"Sarsaparilla," for the blood and liver, ,"Log
Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy for the
stomach, etc, LOG Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption Remedy a remedy called "Scalp-
ine," for the hair, "Log Cabin Extract - for
internal and external use, and an old val
liable discovery for CataiTh, called clog
Cabin Rose Cream" Among the list is also
q Log Cabin Plaster" and "Log Cabin
Liver Pill"
From the number of remedies, It will bo
seen that they do not propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t is believed
by many that with these. remedies new
era Is to dawn upon suffering humanity, and
that the close of the nineteenth century will |
see these roots and herbs, us compounded |
under the title of Warmers Log Cabin Rem |
edies, as popular as they were at its begin
ming. Although they come in the form of pro-
prietary medicines, yet they will be none the |
less welcome, for suffering humanity has |
become tired of modern doctoring and the |
public has great confidence in any remedies |
put up by the firm of which Ii. Fl. Warner |
is the head. The people have become |
suspicious of the effects of doctoring with |
poisonous drugs. Few realize the injurious |
effects following the prescriptions of many |
modern physicians. These effects of poison |
Gus drugs, already prominent, will become /
more pronounced in coming generations. |
Therefore we can cordially wish the old |
fashioned new remedies the best Of success. |
